A Steady Detection Of the Pasco vote-kslther Perm
nor Borhsm Make Decided Gsins-
Some Repeating Done.

Special to the Pdidtka Necs.
TALLAHASSEE, FLA, May G.-For once
at least there has been rather dull day
in both houses. The Senate spent large
part of the day on the bill establishing a
game law and came very near knocking
it out entirely, so very difficult is it for
any two or three of the numerous law
yers in that body to agree on any one
point, however insignificant.
Mr. McMurray introduced bill to adj
vertise Florida at the American exhibi-
tion in London.
MIR. Walker introduced memorial to
Congress- for public building in Talla-
hassee.
Two members of the Judiciary Com
mittee reported the Jacksonville charter
favorably SO far as the power of the
Legislature to pass local Legislation is
= concerned, while other members report
eel adversely on the same point. Mr. Me-
Murray had the bill referred to the Com
mittee on City and County Organization.
THE HOUSE.
In the House. Mr.. Thomas introduced
bill to punish the seller and purchaser
of mortgaged property when sold with
intent to defraud the mortgage.
Mr.. Bitch. of Levy, introduced a bill
to establish State Normal school at
~Ocala.
MIR. Waring introduced bill to pro
hibit and l.vnish the obtaining of money
and property under false pretenses.
Mr.. Upchurch introduced bill to 10
cate the county sites of several counties.
and Mr.. Bielby introduced bill to in
corporate the St. Johns Conference Col
lege.
The joint committee to visit the East
Florida Seminary and the Agricultural
College at Lake City, reported in each
house as to the former. The majority
reported an excellent condition of the in
stitution and recommended an appro-
priation of $6 800 to reimburse the trus-
tees for money borrowed is erect bar

white, at the door; the Judge, with
his face far less ruddy than usual, and

trembling wife held fast by his ample
gown, and looked over his shoulder.

come merely to look at the old home

that he had CHANGED to overhear the
plan of the burglars, and had resolved
to prevent the robbery, whatever the
consequences m ght be.
Meantime, Lyman Drake, observing
that he was q kind of nobody in this

acted on it, which showed him to be
very level-headed young man. The
ways of the house were somewhat
known to him, and, procuring some
stout rd from the woodshed, he pro-
ceeded to bind the arms and legs of the
senseless burglars. Then he went out
and procured help enough to take them

boarded, clothed, and employed both
of them for the next ten years.

had been done. The parents dressed
themselves, and the reunited family sat
